More info about our Fun Runs
Location: Washington Park, 5700 S Russell Dr, Chicago, IL 60637
Our 1 mile Fun Run is a celebratory event held twice a year that showcases the hard work of Chicago Run youth and their commitment to health and wellness. Chicago Run provides these events free of charge to all of our students and their family members in the fall and spring. Fun Runs attract over 4,000 participants from across the city. This is the perfect opportunity to witness the powerful impact Chicago Run has on Chicago children and youth. Volunteers help hand out healthy snacks, water, and finisher ribbons and most importantly, cheer on our students. This is a great team-building opportunity for companies.
NEXT GENERATION BOARD
